Just did a batch off camera. And it was fine. Be sure the camera is not set to minus values. And check that the power dial on the flash has not been accidentally changed. That dial "loves" to move around by accident.Anyone using i40 flash find it underexposed in ttl?
I assume you mean longer focal lengths magnify camera shake?My understanding is the new update is to correct a fault and not really improve or add anything, this is probably why it can remember the settings (and why, if you think about it it is tricky to keep them when adding new features as the map will be totally different).
Anyway, I'm not really one for 'testing' things but thought I'd see what the IBIS could do after this 'improvement' and indoors, at shortish focal distance (so shake is magnified) I could easily achieve pin sharp shots at 80mm equivalent at 1/8 and a reasonable number of sharp shots at 1/3, which is pretty amazing I reckon - around 3.5 stops to 1/8.
I normally have it set up so the IBIS just helps what I'd normally call marginal shutter speeds but with this level of stabilisation at short tele it is actually a tool to think about, especially to keep the ISO lower.

Ahh yes you said focal distance not focal length didn't you, sorry my badYes that, but magnification (and therefore shake) is also a factor of distance. It is obvious at macro distances and less of an impact as you move further away but it is real
Cool. Reminded me of a pic I took with my EM10 some time ago, can't confess to it being handheld thoughGary Moore on vinyl....rotating @ 33 1/3 RPM

It's really easy to do, just download the Olympus camera updater from the Olympus website then hook up your camera tot he computer and install the latest firmware. Takes around 10 minutes to complete.I still need to update the last firmware yet....Must look into how to do it
Not had an issue with my shutter release, never had to cut anything. Which ones have you tried?Olympus OMD EM10......Circumcision.
Forgive me if this has been aired before..
My 2nd hand EM10 had a flaw. The remote release would not fire the shutter.
A bit of research told me that the plug that fits the camera needed cutting back a bit. The camera came with a remote release, but most likely not an Olympus one.
I bought another from Ebay, but that had the same problem.
Anyway, after a little procedure, my remote release is firmly cosher. (Sorry if anyone is offended)
Pictures of before and after.
Simple solution my boy..............

Except the software is crippled. It only works on Windows or Mac only. Buck up Olympus!It's really easy to do, just download the Olympus camera updater from the Olympus website then hook up your camera tot he computer and install the latest firmware. Takes around 10 minutes to complete.
If I can do it, anyone can!
Don't recall it coming with a shutter release tbh, but is long gone now. Don't think my EM5-II did either, will have to check the box. I still use the remote shutter I bought for the EM10.Ah well, as said the one that came with the camera did not work. No brand name. Did your new camera come with an Olympus shutter release?
I bought another Ebay release called the shooter, which did not work either. Also the EPL5 release did not work!!
Having read an article on the web, many other EM10 owners had the same problem. solved by the circumcision!!
May just be its a fault with the camera socket after all.
However, two shutter releases now work just fine.

That's cheap for the 12-40mm, assuming it's in good nick of course.Just a heads up if anyone is looking for a 12-40mm, a chap on a facebook group I've bought stuff from is selling one for £368 (wish I'd have waited a week) He's also selling a 40-150mm for £760 (don't know if thats cheap or not really as I haven't been looking for one)
You probably have to join the group to see the post

The Mkii is pretty much the same size and shape but the controls just sit better,Folks, I'm having a dilemma and maybe you guys can sort it out. My D610 is going and I'm going to replace it with an E-M5 Mkii or E-M1. They're both similar price wise at the moment.
I know all the spec differences etc and generally I'm leaning towards the E-M5 but the one thing putting me off is the grip. When I had the Mk1 version, I found that I used the olympus half grip all the time as it made the camera far easier to hold. Is the Mk2 broadly the same or will I get away without having to shell out for a grip?
The Mkii is pretty much the same size and shape but the controls just sit better,
The grip is available as just the landscape grip without the battery part.
I was also looking at the E-M1 and E-M5 MKII and decided to go with the E-M5 as I prefer less bulk and can then add on an extra grip if needed
At the moment, you can get the HLD-8 battery grip for the same price as the landscape grip from Amazon:

As you pointed out it doesn't have an L bracket unless you get the ECG-2 (and even then, there is no additional dial and shutter button). The ECG-2 is too expensive for what it is so I decided to order a cheaper copy from eBay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/321931492630
Cheers. How do you find the eBay one? Can you swivel the screen with the L part in place? I notice there is an even cheaper neewer one but grip is not rubberised.
Sorry , should have mentioned its an EM10. And shooting RAW only
I thought I was using a fairly fast card , will investigate what is available.
Just looking to see if noise reduction is on , what difference would that make?
